Discover the new EUR-Lex website

 

The Publications Office launched the new portal to EU law. Clearly structured, attractively designed and with improved content, it offers you interesting new features. The EUR-Lex website is now the single point of access to legal information of the European Union: the Official Journal, EU law and case-law, consolidated versions of EU legislation, legislative procedures and other collections. The new portal uses innovative technologies and insights in information management — such as linked data technologies — and thus paves the way for cutting-edge functionalities and a better user experience.
